Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions RapidLoad Power-Up for Autoptimize plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.7.1

Description The issue is related to a missing capability check on the ucss connect function, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access to update plugin settings without authorization. This specifically enables them to connect a new license key to the site.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.7.1, update to a version that includes a fix for the missing capability check on the ucss connect function. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ucss connect function to prevent unauthorized updates until a patch is available.
